As a part of our dedicated Mautic community, many of you participate, contribute, and help drive the evolution of our open source marketing automation platform.
It’s in this spirit of collaboration that we make this exciting announcement: Nominations are now open for the Mautic Council, and we’re looking for two driven and community-focused individuals like YOU to step up.
The Mautic Council is a critical component in shaping our future and amplifying the voice of our community in decision making. Serving on the Council offers a unique opportunity for you, as an individual, to influence Mautic’s trajectory, lending your unique perspectives and experiences to its development and governance. There are seven seats in total on the Council, and the term of appointment is three years – read more in the Governance Model and meet the current Council here.
This year, we’re saying a big thank you and goodbye to Ekkehard Gümbel and Prateek Jain, who are coming to the end of their initial two-year term on the Council (initial terms were three, two and one year to ensure members didn’t all leave in the same year, incoming members will serve for three years).
So why should you nominate someone (or yourself) for the Mautic Council?
- Steering Mautic’s future course: Council membership allows you to play a direct role in critical decisions affecting Mautic’s future as a product and the wider community.
- Voice of the community: As a Council member, you’re in a position to represent the needs, ideas, and suggestions of the Mautic community.
- Leadership development: Being a member of the Mautic Council aids your professional development, sharpening your leadership and governance skills in a real-world, dynamic context.
To nominate someone (or yourself), the proposed candidate will have to be an individual member of Mautic.
Diversity is a cornerstone of our community, so we warmly encourage nominations for individuals from different backgrounds, affiliations, and areas of expertise.
Nominees should have a strong commitment towards open source principles, possess an in-depth understanding of Mautic, and be willing to proactively work with other council members and the broader community. We particularly welcome those who have experience in business development, leadership and scaling organizations as this will also be a big focus for Mautic in the coming years.
To be successful as a Council member, you are expected to attend two 2-hour meetings each quarter (one at the middle, and one at the end) and have 5-10 hours per week on average to dedicate towards preparing for the meetings, working on any tasks assigned to you through our executive committees, and generally keeping in touch with both the Council and the wider community. We’re not a Council that sits back and reads reports (although we do that too!), we’re actively involved in shaping the future of Mautic, and we can’t wait for you to join us.
Interested? Then take that next step and put forward your nomination here.
Nominations will close on 10th November 2025, so make sure you don’t miss this exciting opportunity.
Fill the council seats with the power of the community, let your voice be heard, and help Mautic reach new heights. Happy nominating!
